Highly
functional accoutrements further improve ease of
operation for increased speed and driving pleasure
The
relentless pursuit of vehicle control quality in
the New NSX-R extends to all cockpit parts within
the driver's reach. No matter how high the car's
dynamic performance has been raised, if precise
operation is not possible its potential can not
be fully realized. Items like the ball-shaped shift
knob offer superior fit and contribute toward a
new approach in vehicle control quality throughout
a wide range of driver positions.

Titanium
ball-shaped shift knob suits a wide range of driving
styles
Shift
knob shape was tested on the circuit, resulting
in the selection of a ball-shaped design for its
superior operating feel and adaptability to a wide
range of driving styles. The knob is sculpted from
pure titanium for a simple, sturdy feel. Such is
the attention to detail that, when hand carving
the yellow shift pattern, we polished the edges
down so that the driver would not be distracted
by the feel of the numbering while griping the knob.
The shift knob is also complemented by a lightweight
mesh jersey boot that matches the new interior design.
Weight reduction is pursued right down to this level
of detail.

Shift
indicator uses green and red flashing lights to
inform the driver of proper up-shift timing
The
shift indicator uses green and red lights which
flash then light up to indicate the power peak and
rev limit, respectively, promoting more precise
up-shifting and a more exhilarating driving experience.
Standard power peak is 7,100rpm and standard rev
limit 7,700rpm, with each light set to flash and
then light up as the standard value is reached.
The standard rev limit for first and second gears,
however, is set 200rpm lower.
Operating parameters require that the transmission
be in gear and the throttle open 17° or wider.
Control of the lights 'flashing and lighting up is
carried out by the engine's ECU. Operating parameters
are set for circuit or other spirited driving conditions.
The gauges employ yellow needles unique to the new
NSX-R, with a red ring around the outside for an
exhilarating design befitting a car built for speed.
The orange numbering on the dials is illuminated
for a unified look day and night.

Seats
upholstered in perforated suede with mesh jersey
side supports, for improved hold
The
full-bucket Recaro seats employ a carbon Aramid
shell for superior hold and weight reduction. The
side supports are upholstered in light, breathable
mesh jersey, with the seat and seat back covered
in perforated lux suede, for reduced sliding of
the driver's racing suite during high-G conditions.
This seat was selected to help the driver perform
to his maximum potential on the race circuit.

A
small-diameter, leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel
and other high-performance cockpit accoutrements
The
360mm small-diameter leather-wrapped Momo steering
wheel* helps the driver respond quickly. Other features
include side panels and shift plates made from real
carbon fiber, an instrument panel made of high-matt
rubber to minimize reflective glare on the front
windshield, and aluminum pedals available through
the Custom Order Plan.
*
In cars equipped with the manufacturer's optional
dual SRS airbags, only the leather-wrapped portion
is made by Momo.
